Sunday's Ride to the Holy Jim Waterfalls!

Its not often that the rivers meant to flow from the Santa Ana Mountain range to the ocean actually do....but the wonderful rain we've had recently have the mountain streams flowing! Our normally dry, arid mountain range is now in full bloom. Today we rode through a former Fig Tree orchard that seemed to be breathing new life, past ferns and other plant life that by summer time will probably be gone.

My riding buddy Evan Teske said that in his 25 years of riding & hiking the trails we rode, he'd never seen so much water and the hill sides so green and lush with foliage. We'll definitely be back next weekend for a longer ride than todays 3.5 hour loop. Call me or shoot an e-mail if you want to join us....we gotta get up there and enjoy it while the gettin's good!

This is my first stab at using my FLIP video camera to post video to my blog, so let me know what your experience is....does it load fast? slow? how is the sound quality? I'll continue to work with my Flip to bring you guys footage from my adventures, new stuff in the store, and that kind of stuff....I'll look forward to hearing from you!
